Abstract

Focusing on the hole-doped two-dimensional systems of strongly correlated electrons, we examine geometric phases acquired by electronic wave functions as a result of polaron transport around a closed loop. For this study we apply the Lanczos exact diagonalization method to Holstein-Hubbard, Holstein-$tJ$, and Holstein-$tJ_z$ models in order to reveal various aspects of geometric phases. We demonstrate that transverse spin fluctuations are responsible for the generation of nontrivial geometric phases. From the exchange symmetry of polarons we find that the statistical transmutation of polarons occurs depending on the strength of electron correlations.

Polaronic effects in strongly coupled electron-phonon systems: Exact diagonalization results for the 2D Holstein t-J model

missing to date is an application of the powerful ED technique to the calculation of dynamical properties of the Holstein t--J model (HtJM), including the full quantum nature of phonons. In this contribution, we employ the Lanczos algorithm in combination with a kernel polynomial moment expansion and the Maximum Entropy method [5] to investigate the quasiparticle spectrum of a single hole--polaron in the 2D HtJM on a ten--site square lattice. Moreover, we compute different hole--hole/phonon correlation functions at higher doping level in order to comment on hole--binding effects and charge-densitywave (CDW) formation.

On The Stability Of Polaronic Superlattices In Strongly Coupled Electron-Phonon Systems

Gerhard Wellein, Holger Fehske, H. Büttner +1 more

We investigate the interplay of electron–phonon (EP) coupling and strong electronic correlations in the frame of the two–dimensional (2D) Holstein t–J model (HtJM), focusing on polaronic ordering phenomena for the quarter–filled band case. The use of direct Lanczos diagonalization on finite lattices allows us to include the effects of quantum phonon fluctuations in the calculation of spin/charge structure factors and hole–phonon correlation functions. In the adiabatic strong coupling regime we found evidence for “self-localization ” of polaronic carriers in a (π, π) charge-modulated structure, a type of superlattice solidification reminiscent of those observed in the nickel perovskites La2−xSrxNiO4+y. Electron diffraction measurements on the nickel oxide analogue of the layered high–Tc 214 copper oxide compound, La2−xNixCuO4, reveal a (π, π)–superstructure spot at quarter filling, i.e. for x = 0.5, which has been interpreted as sign of a truly 2D polaron ordered phase [1]. To study charge – and spin–ordering phenomena in such systems, exhibiting besides a substantial EP interaction strong Coulomb correlations, let us consider the planar t-J model with an additional on-site Holstein hole-phonon coupling:

Berry phases and pairing symmetry in Holstein-Hubbard polaron systems

Kenji Yonemitsu, J. Zhong, H.-B. Schüttler

We study the tunneling dynamics of dopant-induced hole polarons that are self-localized by electron-phonon coupling in a two-dimensional antiferromagnet. Our treatment is based on a path-integral formulation of the adiabatic (Born-Oppenheimer) approximation, combined with many-body tight-binding, instanton, constrained lattice dynamics, and many-body exact diagonalization techniques. The applicability and limitations of the adiabatic approximation in polaron tunneling problems are discussed in detail and adiabatic results are compared to exact numerical results for a two-site polaron problem. Our results are mainly based on the Holstein-$\mathrm{tJ}$ and, for comparison, on the Holstein-Hubbard model. We also study the effects of second-neighbor hopping and long-range electron-electron Coulomb repulsion. The polaron tunneling dynamics is mapped onto an effective low-energy Hamiltonian that takes the form of a fermion tight-binding model with occupancy-dependent, predominantly second- and third-neighbor tunneling matrix elements, excluded double occupancy, and effective intersite charge interactions. Antiferromagnetic spin correlations in the original many-electron Hamiltonian are reflected by an attractive contribution to the first-neighbor charge interaction and by Berry phase factors that determine the signs of effective polaron tunneling matrix elements. In the two-polaron case, these phase factors lead to polaron-pair wave functions of either ${d}_{{x}^{2}\ensuremath{-}{y}^{2}}$-wave symmetry or p-wave symmetry with zero and nonzero total pair momentum, respectively. Implications for the doping-dependent isotope effect, pseudogap, and ${T}_{c}$ of a superconducting polaron-pair condensate are discussed and compared to observed properties of the cuprate high-${T}_{c}$ materials.

Optical absorption and single-particle excitations in the two-dimensional Holstein t−J model

B. Bäuml, Gerhard Wellein, Holger Fehske

To discuss the interplay of electronic and lattice degrees of freedom in systems with strong Coulomb correlations we have performed an extensive numerical study of the two-dimensional Holstein $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model. The model describes the interaction of holes, doped in a quantum antiferromagnet, with a dispersionsless optical phonon mode. We apply finite-lattice Lanczos diagonalization, combined with a well-controlled phonon Hilbert space truncation, to the Hamiltonian. The focus is on the dynamical properties. In particular we have evaluated the single-particle spectral function and the optical conductivity for characteristic hole-phonon couplings, spin exchange interactions, and phonon frequencies. The results are used to analyze the formation of lattice hole polarons in great detail. Links with experiments on layered perovskites are made. In addition, we compare the Chebyshev recursion and maximum entropy algorithms, used for calculating spectral functions, with standard Lanczos methods.

Polarons and bipolarons in strongly interacting electron-phonon systems

Gerhard Wellein, Heinrich Röder, Holger Fehske

The Holstein Hubbard and Holstein t-J models are studied for a wide range of phonon frequencies, electron-electron, and electron-phonon interaction strengths on finite lattices with up to ten sites by means of direct Lanczos diagonalization. Previously the necessary truncation of the phononic Hilbert space caused serious limitations to either very small systems (four or even two sites) or to weak electron-phonon coupling, in particular in the adiabatic regime. Using parallel computers we were able to investigate the transition from ``large'' to ``small'' polarons in detail. By resolving the low-lying eigenstates of the Hamiltonian and by calculating the spectral function, we can identify a polaron band in the strong-coupling case, whose dispersion deviates from the free-particle dispersion at low and intermediate phonon frequencies. For two electrons (holes) we establish the existence of bipolaronic states and discuss the formation of a bipolaron band. For the two-dimensional Holstein t-J model, we demonstrate that the formation of hole polarons is favored by strong Coulomb correlations. Analyzing hole-hole correlation functions, we find that hole binding is enhanced as a dynamical effect of the electron-phonon interaction. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Theory of the density fluctuation spectrum of strongly correlated electrons

Giniyat Khaliullin, Peter Horsch

The density response function $N(\mathrm{q}, \ensuremath{\omega})$ of the two-dimensional $t\ensuremath{-}J$ model is studied starting from a mixed-gauge formulation of the slave-boson approach. Our results for $N(\mathrm{q}, \ensuremath{\omega})$ are in remarkable agreement with exact diagonalization studies, and provide a natural explanation of the anomalous features in the density response in terms of the spin-polaron nature of the charge carriers. In particular, we have identified unexplained low-energy structures in the diagonalization data as arising from the coherent polaron motion of holes in a spin liquid.
